Outsiders: Cozi w/ softi @ Kiosk Radio 15.03.2025

new york-based dj and promoter como se dj comes through with a live recording from a recent recess party in montreal. with the theme being swamp fairies and como se dj closing for one of our favourites, the mix transcends between dark and light, using beautiful textural melodies to bring you into his world. 

growing up in a household that was always playing music with como se dj’s dad introducing him to a world of different soundscapes, it wasn’t until the last two years of high school that como se dj (paul) was introduced to electronic music via the all encompassing sounds of brian eno, aphex twin, portishead and massive attack. opening up the flood gates for paul, he then got into the renegade scene in montreal which is where the influence of djing came into play. now based in brooklyn, paul runs the diy sunday party series recess which was launched in response to the frequent high energy parties in new york with the aim of creating something more nourishing and softer for the queer community in the city. the previous parties have featured sets from deep creep, loif, adobeprincess, ronan, matas, kia, d. tiffany, adab, succubass, aaron j, rrao and more. 

with plans to play in the eu and moving back to montreal in the fall for studies, como se dj is soaking up the rest of his time in nyc. we caught up with paul to chat about all things recess and new york city influence, what it was like growing up in a musical household, other inspirations outside of music, and what he’s most excited about right now.

Untitled 909 Podcast: 217: como se dj

subcast is born, an incantation of adventurous sonic alchemy behind radiant subs. The inimitable Razrbark kicks things off. Strap in for a chemistry-altering ride.
@razrbark's interview below--->

ℚ: ℍ𝕠𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕦𝕝𝕕 𝕪𝕠𝕦 𝕕𝕖𝕤𝕔𝕣𝕚𝕓𝕖 ℝ𝕒𝕫𝕣𝕓𝕒𝕣𝕜 𝕚𝕟 𝕒 𝕗𝕖𝕨 𝕨𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤?

A: Live edge, live wire

Q: Describe the story behind Razrbark's Specific Heat.

A: Specific Heat measures how resistant (or not) substances are to temperature changes, specifically how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of something by one degree. This concept from chemistry has always stuck with me and is something I thought of after listening to the finished product of this mix/let's be real I just think it sounds cool.

When I first started prepping for this mix, I went in a very different direction and had a rough draft, but it felt tedious, trying to force ideas and tracks in a way that required a lot of energy with little output. Sometimes, things pour out of you and sometimes, they don't. 

One day, a very exciting booking came through (spoiler alert: it was Honcho @ Hot Mass). With the adrenaline rush of the booking, I immediately started mixing tracks from the extremes of my USB, and everything flowed really easily. I decided to hit record, and it came together in a way that felt much more organic. I also unearthed many tracks I had forgotten about that were collecting cobwebs on my stick but that I always loved.

Anyway, all this to say, just like in chemistry, sometimes you need the right conditions for a reaction to truly take off~~~

Q: What is your ideal dancefloor (fictional or real).

The Bronze.

Q: When is the last track that made subs glow for you?

A: Two specific tracks come to mind:
https://snappedankles.bandcamp.com/track/come-play-the-trees-crooked-ankles-2
To me this is the perfect track. I played it at Hot Mass in Pittsburgh sometime after 6am a bit slower than this. I love how it has so much raw power behind it. Big chug NRG. I've always loved this song from the same band. It has a very Iggy Pop/Plastic Bertrand sensibility to it, but I've never been able to play it on a dance floor, so I was happy when I found this edit that is a bit more dance floor friendly and still has the rock/dance vibe that I feel is a hallmark of my sound.

Another track:
I just played this song towards the end of my set at Afterlife in Seattle this weekend. The bass was so intense my drink literally bounced across a table and fell to the floor. I'd say the subs were glowing hard.

Q: What track/artist was a musical game-changer for you?

A: Föllakzoid. It's psych rock, it's techno, it's everything. Each time I've seen them play, it's world-building and expansive. 

Q: If this mix was a book or a movie what would it be? 

A: It would be in Walk Hard Part 2, when Dewey goes through his drum and bass era.

Intergalactic Gary has been one of our favorite DJs for many years, as his genre transcendence aligns perfectly with IT’s vision. This set was recorded in a very special circumstance, at Tresor 313, May 25, 2024 at the Tangent Gallery on Day 1 of Return to the Source. Originally scheduled for 2 hours, it naturally extended to almost 4 hours, which is the kind of thing that is possible at this party when just the right chemistry happens.

We had Intergalactic Gary on directly after the Model 500 live show in the Gallery, the room was already on fire. When he came on he totally captivated the room, the energy was palpable as he effortlessly went from all sorts of variants of techno and house and the raw essence of what makes them – from Italo disco to early Chicago and forms of electro, culminating in his effortless presentation of the timeless sublime jam “Amenity” by Link, a peak experience for everyone present. This kind of perspective on music is really elucidating and liberating, and made for one of the most memorable sets of the weekend – delivered by a true cult hero.

Another lovely memoir of friendship here with the ever talented Swiss artist phrex, who works under various aliases, including @seduction-dream-dust, with Animix #174. Juj is a beautiful person inside and out and his musical outputs are a reflection of his multifaceted character - often referencing his middle eastern heritage. In his animix, a wild dnb speed journey, filled with adventure and emotion, awaits.

Beyond political and social nods, phrex has an inredible ability to merge genres and styles in a way that remains seemingly fresh and unique - which, in 2025,  is harder and harder to come by. We originally met at random, as I strolled past a stage whilst he was playing an ambient set at Waking Life in 2022. The self-made remix of "Alone" by Olive he was playing drew me in and led me to ask for an ID. in return, he gifted me a cassette of the song. A beautiful memory of music exchange and friendship, and i'm really happy to finally have him in the series.

Lots of love - thank you Juj!
